∞Registration∞
Registration is simple: register with the name of your character. Once registered, please place the display name of your character as their first, middle, and last name in all CAPS! There are canons on this site and if you wish to reserve one, reserve him or her as soon as your register. You will four days to complete your application for that reserved canon. If you do not finish within that time period, the cannon will be put back up for grabs. Until your character application is accepted, please do not post anywhere else. When you're application is accepted, feel free to head on over to face claims, and also claim an alibi! Please don't post in the ICC chat until you've been approved by an admin!
∞Rating∞
This site is rated Mature, but we would love if anyone whom has any sexual or overly violent posts to place [Mature] or [M] in their thread title, so that we don't have to hunt you down and beat you to do it. [<3] We want everyone to enjoy themselves, so if you do not wish to see such engorged details, simply stay away from the threads parked thus so, so that we can be fair to all of our loverly members.
∞Respect∞
This site has a strict respect policy. We're not going to sit here and preach right and wrong to you, but please be kind to the staff and other members. We aren't timid to call you on it. Your first offense will be a warning, second is a three day banning, and the third offense is a permanent ban. If you have a problem with another member, please keep it to yourself or take it up with an admin. We'll do what we can for you. Do not bring petty drama into the cbox, ICC, or to any post. Remember, the less drama in OOC and the more drama in ICC makes everything a lot more fun!
∞Posting∞
We hate to put a word count on your posts, but four hundred isn't unbelievably hard. Your role-playing partner(s) will greatly appreciate a little something to work with. We all know from personal experience that a 300 word or less post doesn't give you us much to go on.
No god-modding. This is one that you should all know. Use common sense and don't control another person's character's actions without their consent. Also, please highlight below for the word code.

We love the ICC and so do you. Have fun it! We do ask that you don't limit your RPing to the ICC and that you have at least one active thread going.
& now this is the part where Ashley is going to lecture you about grammar and spelling. She'll be the first to admit that her grammar isn't always correct and that she's a terrible speller, but she does apply what she knows. Coming from a future English major, negligent grammar drives her up the wall. Do not post like you're three. We can all manage at least an eighth grade level, yes? Post as if you were writing a paper to be graded or for a scholarship.
There is a different between you're/your, there/their/they're/, are/our, and to/too. We also have a spell check - please use it.
When you create a new thread, please put [open] or [TaggedCharacterHere] in the title.
We also ask that you post in blockquote. It makes posts look a hell of a lot nicer.
∞Characters∞
With characters, we know that most people will make a gazillion characters or only one, but we're going to try to balance that out. You are allowed six characters total. If you make a girl and then another girl, your next character must be a guy. So for everyone two of a gender, you must make one of the other. If you aren't active on your first character, you will not be allowed to create a new character, or you may ask for your first character to be deleted. If you do have multiple characters, we don't ask that you post a million times a day with one of them, but you must at least make a few posts with each throughout the week.
∞Activity∞
We'd like to keep WTH (< that still makes me giggle) active, so we'll have monthly activity checks to make sure that you guys aren't off in lala land. If you disappear for more than five days with out notice, we will assume that something came up, but if you have not returned in two weeks without a leave of absence, we will remove your accounts. If for whatever reason you decide to rejoin us, we'll have your applications and left threads waiting for you in the archive.
Please do not register if you aren't going to be active. It puts a real damper on things. It sucks for someone to start plotting with someone else, only to have said person just disappear out of no where, so please stay active!
Yes, we all have live outside of our little characters', so if you are going to take off for a while, be sure to let us know! c:
